The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas
Teajay---I think the problem with comparing scientific method and the Bible is perspective. If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, then you judge the scientific findings by what God says. Science is always changing their hypotheses and concl... 
The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas
I realize this is a little off the subject but I just can't resist. Plus, you brought it up. Try finding even one scientific proof, that hasn't been disproved or proven to be a hoax, for evolution. If true science were being taught in schools, the... 
XM radio no longer commercial free
I didn't even know I had Sirius on my Dish programming until a teenager found it. I'm now hooked on "standards" channel(shows my age). On the Jams channel they play the Dead but at night you have to listen to Bill Walton's drug induced rambling-so... 
whats your idea of loud music.
For me it depends upon the type of music and the time of day. I can't stand louder more raucous music early in the morning. Maybe my ears just need to be warmed up first. I can also listen to smooth jazz louder than most other types of music. It m... 
Which Tube Preamp under $10K?
I just saw an Audionote M3 for sale for under $5K here on audiogon. I heard the M1 once and fell in love with it. You might want to give and AN a try. Dan 
What Was Thrown Off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
How about the money that the federal Govt. sent to Louisianna to fix those levies over the last 20 years? You don't hear abut that on national news. 
Yet another "battle of the formats"
After dealing with Sony as a salesman, I bet the delays are due to their smug and stubborn attitude. We knew JVC, Onkyo, Panasonic, etc reps by name and saw them at least twice a year. We saw the Sony rep once in the more than three years I was in... 
why doesnt "cd direct" sound better ??
My "pure direct" mode on my Denon AV3803 does improve the sound on any source. It gets rid of the video though so I can't see what song or artist is playing on my Dish Serius. I never expected to notice the difference. Less background noise, etc. ... 
filthy pigs
One time I saw a mouse crawl into the port of my old B&W center speaker. I took it apart(speaker) and found a whole sh-tload of droppings. I cleaned it out. Later when I sold it to a friend, I did tell him about it. I blasted the speaker when ... 
Music for Riding a Storm Out?
How abut Derek and the Dominoes Let it Rain? Allman Bros Stormy Monday? My favorite would be The Grateful Dead's Weather Report Suite from their Wake of the Flood album. "Listen to the thunder shout "I AM" 
Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System
ONHIWAY I liked what you said the best. I was auditioning the Sony ES601(5 disc) versus the Rotel 965LE with a song that had some hi-frequency glare that only showed up on the Sony. What really helped at the time was I had a mild migraine at the t... 
Testicle Tumor
Foxtrot- I will be praying for you. In fact I already did. Put your faith in the God who knows from the beginning to the end. May you have the peace that surpasses all understanding. May you be healed in the name of Jesus. Amen. I will continue of... 
Receivers with Video Switching
My Denon 3803 has it which is exactly why I bought it. I'm sure that these days there are cheaper ones that will fit the bill. 
its all about the music,no way hose
I was so proud of myself. I am actually using my old Luxman R-1030 receiver for the sound of its headphone output rather than the just as old Optonica which looks a lot cooler just because it sounds better. It was a tough decision. So there is som... 
What is the test of time?
I can't believe the group "America" did Muskrat Love. It sure ruined their greatest hits cd.
